Experiments

A levitation project stands out at a science fair because nothing else on the table is doing it. The catch is that the best version needs liquid nitrogen, and the version that needs none is a different project with different...

This project levitates a small train on permanent magnets alone — no liquid nitrogen, no cryogenic handling, no special safety kit. That makes it one of the few levitation projects you can build and demonstrate in an ordinary classroom. If...

Ever wondered how Quantum levitation is possible? It’s all due to superconducting materials! These materials have special properties that allow them to conduct electricity without any resistance. When a magnet is placed near a superconducting material, the superconductor does two...

Quantum Levitation has dazzled millions of people via major TV networks, the TED conference live and online, and in universities and schools around the world. But we haven’t just created a sophisticated demo for audiences to view; we developed our...

Can we store energy using Superconductors? Yes. There are two superconducting properties that can be used to store energy: zero electrical resistance (no energy loss!) and Quantum levitation (friction-less motion).  Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) Storing energy by driving currents inside...
